Club Elite - O'Fallon IL — Local services in O'Fallon

The gym is great. The only thing that drags it down drastically for me is how thin the benches are especially the bench press benches, they are so thin that I feel like I have to fight myself in order to stay on it. It’s very unpractical for me. Everything else is great but the benches definitely need to be wider. I am someone who has a hip replacement and having my hip pretty much off the bench because of how first of short it is. I’m 6’1 and I have to adjust myself all the time because it’s to short and unfit for tall people and people of a wider body. I find it hard to go above 225 on it. I feel like I might fall off the bench because of how thin it is. Weights are kind of everywhere and people never wipe down or clean up after themselves. The staff when I first got in also were extremely rude I didn’t know how the app worked and I asked the front desk and the lady working there refused service. People also have a staring problem here too. And the personal trainers are sometimes nasty. Ive seen one of the male trainers taking inappropriate pictures with the stall open whilst helping someone outside the men’s locker room. It’s...

The majority of the gym is only accessible to clients who pay the ever increasingly higher prices…and the percentage of people that actually use it doesn’t make it worth the space being wasted. Take out the stretch zone that I NEVER see anyone go in. The other rooms barely ever get used either. Open those up to utilize the space to the majority of members.

Also, there are 3 and I mean 3 stretch mats in the grass area. I’ve asked about ordering more cause even those are torn up.

We pay higher and higher prices and this place is going down hill faster than Golds did. Stop increasing prices and giving us less and less.

The 3 sometimes 4 people manning the front desk spend more time on their phone then actually working, there’s one person cleaning and the new male manager here literally never has a kind or approachable attitude. Always on his phone or staying hidden.

And don’t let me start about the horrible music they have always played on loop that just keeps getting more and more annoying to have to listen to. Don’t come without your own headphones and music.

Basically, don’t join here if you’re...

This place is disgusting. Nothing gets put away by anyone, and every member thinks they own the place. All the equipment is always loaded with plates and members could care less about anyone else. Staff is a bunch of immature children that management has no control over. None of the staff could care less about the rules and they constantly watch people leave their weights on equipment.

Also, members of the club are constantly messing around making it extremely dangerous for those of us who are serious in the gym (ex. I was benching 315 and some dude obnoxiously danced into my barbell mid rep).

Staff also does not care if you buzz in or not and I can garuntee a large portion of the individuals causing problems, especially at night, don’t even have a membership here.

Shame on you management, this is a disgusting excuse for a gym, I hope corporate comes and cracks down on you because you make this company look horrible. In the 14 years I have lifted, I have been to 30+ gyms and this is by a landslide the worst environment I have ever...
